ANOTHER HTTCn-vIRGIN1A TAX CLAIM OF $125.
Although the title Of the Aqueduct bridge has
been transferred to the government and the trans
fer deeds properly recorded, there is an unex-
pected hitch in regard to the title papers on ac-
count OF tax claim made by the state OF Viz
ginia The amount is small. but the question as
who shall pay It, II it is just, has not yet been
settled. When the deed was sent to Alexandria to
be recorded the county clerk refused to return the
deed unless tax claim OF 3125 should be paid.

the payment TO the clerk Of one dollar for every

to state his objections certain fea
lures OF tne conference report, which he regarded
as an attempt to strike down healthy competi-

fifth sections OF the bill was that the one he long
and short haul Section) would destroy the cheap
ness OF transportation on which that commerce
depended, and the other (the pooling section)
would destroy the steadiness of the business by
putting 1T out OF the power OF the railroads pre-
vent railroad wars and constant f1uctuation, which
was the destruction OF all trade The objection
did not come from the railroad men who wanted
to put up rates, but from the customers OF the
railroads who wanted to put them down and keep
them down.
